Chiming in with a useless statement:

That thing Starsky mentioned about you getting the kids to bed and going out for a couple hours??

Yes! Empowering for you. And - for some reason - very attractive to us lady-folks.

Unfortunately, I can't say WHY that is. Maybe because it's "manly."

Oftentimes I think men lose that side of themselves in a marriage.

So yeah. Go be a manly man once in a while. And it'll help with your stress to boot! smile
